About Sport England
Sport
England is a public body that works to encourage as many people as possible to
become and remain physically active. Our head office is based at 21b Bloomsbury
Street London, WC1B 3HF
Like all
other organisations who collect and use personal data we are subject to the
requirements set out in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We take
our responsibility to look after personal data very seriously and we ensure
that respecting privacy is at the heart of all we do.
Sport
England is working with NWG Network for applications under the
Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts and Synergy Learning to support, host and
deliver the associated IT infrastructure and website. Both parties work as data
processors on behalf of Sport England who are the data controller.
Why we need to collect your
personal data
Our primary purpose for collecting personal data is to assess applicant submissions against the requirements of the Safeguarding Code in Martial Arts.
Synergy Learning will host the public facing website and store applicant data on their own secure database. Synergy Learning will set up automated notifications and communications to those who have attained or are working towards the Code. These will include:
- A welcome email upon
registration for all applicants
- An annual ‘health check’
request for those who have demonstrated that they have met the Code’s
standards
NWG
Network will access the database as part of the application process to:
- Review registered applicant’s
submissions
- To prompt incomplete or
unsuccessful submissions
- To randomly externally
verify submissions to confirm that standards have been met
- Anonymously report to Sport
England only
- Where applicants have given
consent, additional contact may be made for the specific purpose of
building case studies
- Process your application
- Maintain your place in a
public facing database upon completion
Sport
England will receive anonymised reports from NWG Network.
The
lawful basis for collecting your personal data under Article 6 of the GDPR is
consent. You can withdraw this consent at any time by contacting info@nwgnetwork.org
